Sanctions strike at Putin's fleet — 500 tankers on the "blacklist: https://benborges.xyz/2025/07/19/sanctions-strike-at-putins-fleet.html

Even before the war with Iran started it was clear that even the best bunker buster bombs probably couldn't destroy the deepest facilities in Iran. It makes the rationality of a US participation in the war less clear, Israel doesn't need US help to destroy other kinds of targets.

Trump has suggested to defense officials it would make sense for the US to launch strikes against Iran
-- only if the so-called “bunker buster” bomb was guaranteed to destroy the critical uranium enrichment facility at Fordow.
Trump was told that dropping the GBU-57s,
a 13.6-tonne (30,000lb) bomb
would effectively eliminate Fordow
but he does not appear to be fully convinced,
and has held off authorizing strikes as he also awaits the possibility that the t…

Netanyahu, on the other hand, after the many hospital strikes in Gaza, is allowed to thrive. The hypocrisy crisis prevails.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/202

There are far more ways for an air strike on Iran to go wrong than for it to go the way it is being sold to Trump.
The illegal attack launched by Israel against Iran already set off a war that raises the stakes -- and brings the U.S. increasingly closer to getting directly involved -- even if it doesn’t strike.
But if it does strike, it sets off a series of consequences that likely lead to a long, drawn-out commitment with no clear exit strategy, again.
An American strike…

Can the United States Really Be Marching Toward This Madness Again?
The eerie echoes of Iraq and 2003 are numerous. But there are some key differences—and they make going into Iran an even greater act of folly.

There’s a second theory, not mutually exclusive, about the frozen job market having to do with resentment from corporate leadership about the sudden surge in labor power in 2020. Someone (maybe @…?) referred to this as a “captial strike.”
I’m not sure how much economic sense that theory makes — but I am sure that corporate leadership is often impulsive, petty, and irrational, and frequently does things that make no economic sense. I can’t elucidate the theory well, but it’s thing I’m keeping my eye on.

Well done Alexandra Petri!
Pretty sure if you wanted human rights, you don't go getting rounded up by ice or dhs or cbp or bureau of prisons who will take away your human rights. /s

Senate Democrats are increasingly concerned that President Donald Trump is considering striking Iran without seeking authorization from Congress

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Virginia) is mounting a last-ditch push to force a vote as soon as next week

Other Senate Democrats say the White House has not briefed them on its plans for a potential strike.
